The song, “Crying in the Chapel”, by Elvis Presley, a million selling hit single in 1965 was re-released on a single CD, 4th April 2005.

It was played on LM FM Radio Ireland as a tribute to Pope John Paul II, on 5th April.

Many people will be surprised to hear an Elvis Gospel song hit the number one spot in the music charts, at the height of The Beatles success.

Elvis fans are now requesting the beautiful song should be played on radio stations world-wide as a special tribute to the late, Pope Paul 11.

The song will no doubt follow the string of recent Elvis hits on the official British music chart announced on BBC Radio 1, broadcast on Sunday evening.
